"Not that the other one was bad, but you live and learn," said John E. Boyer Jr., an associate professor af manufacturing engineering technology. Unlike NUSAT I, the second satellite was made completely at WSC. "We learned from the last one, and NUSAT II has more capabilities," said Robert Twiggs, a faculty advisor for the satellite project. NUSAT II will perform many of the same functions as its predecessor, but improvements have been made. "There will be two computers, two communications changes and an altitude control system that will give us a way to position the satellite," said Twiggs. It will also be possible for radio operators to contact the satellite due to a beacon antenna that will transmit in morse code, he said. One of the biggest advantages to NUSAT II, according to Twiggs, will be (See SATELLITE on page 11) Council requests five percent tuitionsurcharge by Loretta Park News Editor Budget cuts are causing the council of the presidents to propose a tuition surcharge of five percent, Dr. Stephen D. Nadauld, WSC president, told WSC's institutional council Tuesday. Between increases in tuition and student fees, a full-time (12-18 credit hours) student will possibly pay $105 more for three quarters next year. The fall schedule is printed and does not show the proposed surcharge. The five percent increase is $13 per quarter for full-time students. The legislature during their regular session approved a six percent increase for tuition. Students will not be paying the library surcharge next year, so this increase reflects a four percent increase in tuition. ASWSC approved a $4 increase for student fees and a $7 surcharge for computers. All these increases equal 11 percent.This does not take into account the increased costs for textbooks, supplies, housing, and food. Inside . . . J Todd Anderson, ASWSC president and Jonathon Wright, ASWSC president-elect, told the council students could not be asked to bear the burden. This proposal is one of the alternatives that came out of the council of the president's meeting. Nadauld, as well as other college presidents, was asked to bring theproposal to the campuses for debate and feedback. The proposed tuition surcharge will come before the Utah State Board of Regents on June 20 when they meet at Weber State. "The issue is larger than a five percent increase. It is that revenues are not meeting projections and a lot of things are being cut sections of courses and travel," said Nadauld. "The students have already demonstrated their commitment to quality education by voluntary increases in tuition, fees, library surcharge, and the computer fee, and we did it willingly," said Anderson. "We may have reached our limit for this year. We're waiting to see when the state and the tax payers will show their support." The increase is needed to cover the budget cuts the school is experiencing this year, said Dr. Jerald T. Storey, vice president for business affairs. Earlier this year the school had to cut $359,000 from its budget. This meant 145 sections were not taught or cut from the school's curriculum, Storey said. "This new request is a substantial cut from our budget. Next year's budget was not increased. We are already ex periencing a budget constraint," said Storey. "The majority of our students' work for minimum wages and we think this may cause many to drop out," Anderson said. There will also be less federal and state aid available to students because of the Gramm-Rudman Act.
